Types of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are classified according to the severity of damage:

First-degree burn: This is a minor injury affecting only the epidermis (outer layer of skin). It may cause pain and redness.
Second-degree burn: The damage with this type of burn affects both the epidermis and the dermis (second layer of skin). Second-degree burns can cause swelling, severe pain, blisters, red, white, or splotchy skin, and scarring.
Third-degree burn: With burns of this severity, the damage extends through the epidermis and the dermis to the layer of fat beneath the skin. Third-degree burns can destroy nerves and cause numbness. Affected areas may be black, brown, or white, and the skin may appear leathery.
